Walk the stunning Amalfi coast and explore the fascinating ruins of Pompeii

The Amalfi Coast is one of the most dramatic coastlines in Europe. Mountains jut steeply out of the Mediterranean and picturesque towns nestled in the coves below. Walking the ancient hillsides studded with lemon groves and framed by deep gorges, you'll descend from the Agerola Plain to the quaint towns of Positano, Ravello and of course Amalfi itself. No visit to the Bay of Naples would be complete without a trip to see the remains of Pompeii under the imposing volcanic cone of Mount Vesuvius.

The best is saved until the end with arguably the world's best coastal walk: the 'Walk of the Gods'. Away from the trails you will partake in the favourite traditional pastime and sample incredible food and wine just like the Italians do.

The perfect combination of idyllic coastal views, heritage sights and picturesque towns make the Amalfi Coast a popular destination for walking.

The Amalfi Coast is home to some of the best-loved walks in Europe; the varied scenery and temperate climate make this a heaven for hikers and ramblers. The pace of the walks allows time to rest and enjoy the views, however, the terrain encountered on some of the paths is similar what you may find on a moderate walking trip.

The terrain and type of path will vary from man-made paved tracks, tarmac to forest trails. Whilst most walks are manageable for those with a good level of fitness, the walks involve some steep climbs and descents on slightly loose terrain and some have sections on narrow pathways alongside some sheer drops (not recommended for severe vertigo sufferers).

Optional walks on Mount Vesuvius are on rocky cinder/gravel trails and likely to be loose underfoot, with steep sections and quite large drops in places. On a couple of days, there are considerable sections of steps, which make the walks unsuitable for those with knees problems.

Walks usually take between 4 and 6 hours including lunch stops (depending on the pace of your group) and require a moderate level of fitness.

Summer temperatures can make some of the walks more strenuous.

Eating & drinking

All breakfasts, 4 packed lunches and 6 dinners are included.

Breakfast: Continental style with a choice of cereal, bread, pastries, yoghurt, orange juice and milk with an array of teas/coffee.

Lunch: Usually a sandwich filled with a choice of cold meats, tuna or locally made cheeses.

Dinner: All evening meals are taken in the hotel, where the standard is excellent, and are typically Italian. Meals usually consist of four courses, commencing with antipasti, followed by soup and/or pasta, a main meat dish with salad or vegetables and dessert. Vegetarian choices are always available. On certain evenings, there is the opportunity to learn how to make the famous Neapolitan pizza. Drinks are not included.
